Religion restrictions debated in Tajikistan

Tajikistan has strict rules on how and where people can pray.

The government says it is necessary to combat what it calls "extremism."

But as Al Jazeera's Divya Gopalan reports, many feel the laws are an attempt to clamp down on political oppositon.

President of Tajikistan gives all the power to his family members and he is scared that people may ask for share in government power
